TUTORIAL ON DIRECTABLE INFRARED COUNTERMEASURES (IRCM) FLARES The US Army Communications Electronics Command, CECOM, in conjunction with the Garden State Chapter of the Association of Old Crows, will present a Tutorial on Directable Infrared Countermeasures (IRCM)/Flares at Ft. Monmouth 9-11 July 1996. The tutorial is designed to provide a basic understanding of Infrared Countermeasures for personnel that are new to the field. The instructors have been carefully chosen based on their experience in the field of IRCM as well as the ability to present the material to the target audience. The course is structured to provide a qualitative understanding of the principles and hardware that are employed in today's IRCM environment without heavy reliance on detailed engineering analyses. It is recommended for personnel that have been assigned to programs that deal with IRCM or to just develop a very good understanding of the real problems of detecting and countering today's IR missiles. Attendance is limited to US Citizens only with a ``Need to Know'' certification from either their supervisor (Government personnel) or their contract representative (Industry personnel). There is a nominal fee to cover food service and security/custodial expenses. The sessions are classified and will be held in the Myer Center Auditorium. The topics to be covered include: IR Missiles - Utilization, Ken Labaugh, MITRE Corp; Lamp, Laser & Flare Jamming Methods, Dr. Frank Barone, NRL; Missile Warning Systems, David Pollock, DHP Consultants; Atmospheric Effects, Dr. Michael Neer, Neer, Inc; Precision Guided Munitions, Bill Horton, OptiMetrics, Inc.
